Ok but what is referred to as the face.
 Is it the lock plate, the jaws of the cock.
 I think that's where my confusion lay.
 
Thanks beav for the info so far.

Flat face is like a TC or Lyman, round face is like your Kibler or what you see on a Bess, Ketland I still haven't figured out

Flintlock Long Guns / understanding locks
« Last post by KDubs on May 08, 2024, 11:04:11 PM »
 So I have researched a bit and I am trying to understand what is meant by a round face vs a flat face vs a ketland etc lock.
 what is the face on a lock . what makes it flat,square or round.
 I see plenty of pics of these locks but I can't tell what's what !
  how do I tell these locks apart or know what I'm looking at.
 Hope this makes sense.
 thanks kevin

I have a whole passel of young squirrels hanging out right off the front porch. At the end of the month, I'm fixing to turn them into birria squirrel enchiladas!

I just did a "copy & paste" of that into the word processor, saved it to my recipes file and printed it out.  As Rondo said, it looks good enough to eat!

Then we said the heck with that and dug up the whole front yard, laid down some heavy felt and covered that with white gravel.

In Fairbanks almost 50 years ago now (my, how time flies! :laffing) one of my neighbors did something similar, but in the middle of the front yard, with the circular driveway going around it, he put in a raised portion on which he proudly exhibited his old push mower.  It was hilarious!

NICE!  The pepperbox and ace went through several hands, the last being Deer Creek.  They bought out Classic Arms and had the kits available for years; it looks like they only have parts left: https://www.deercreekproducts.net/store/c1/Featured.html

You could build a pepperbox from their parts if you make the grip yourself.  Go to their schematics-manuals--information page and download the schematic to see what you need to order.  You might even be able to get the manual/building instructions if you give them a call.
